I have a RCA television,model HD61LPW62 with a cracked lamp. So the lamp was replaced;now the set makes a scratching noise when it tries to power up.after about a minute the sound stops then a minute later it starts again.this goes on and on. can you help me with probable cause ?

  • jimmiecooper Oct 20, 2008

    can you narrow the problem down to one board and location within the set ?

  • jimmiecooper Oct 20, 2008

    I fail to mention that the set has no video at all because it will not power up. I feel like if a board # can be given it would help greatly with the scratching sound problem.

Hey Jim,

There would be a capacitor shaped like a black bottle on the board which needs to be replaced. The new tube you have installed seems to need more power then your current capacitor can provide. If this keeps on happening you may end up burning out the capacitor. get a new one with a higher power rating.

Hit me again if you need more info.

The capacitors in your television need to charge up when the unit is first turned on. You need to replace them if the noise gets much longer.

Check the connection in your tv..........the noise is produced due to bad solder in you tv ..........

check the capacitors....

  • Anonymous Oct 20, 2008

      Excessive load or faulty power supply cycling on its overcurrent protection circuit.


        High voltage shutdown, or some other system detecting an out of regulation condition.


          A dried up main filter capacitor or other filter capacitor in the low voltage power supply that is producing an out-of-regulation condition until it warms up. A bad filter capacitor on the output of a series regulator may result in excessive voltage and subsequent shutdown.


            A problem with the microcontroller, relay or its driver, or standby power supply

Dark picture!

The Lamp it self, the Ballast, or the Power Supply that powers the Ballast. Even a combination of the Lamp and Power Supply is a common problem. If you have not replaced the Lamp since you have owned the set I would replace that first. The Lamp has about a 3000 to 5000 hour life span.
Hope this helps,

Whining noise on start up, lamp and TV shutting down

The TV tech isnt too familliar with RCA TVs. The color wheel is the most likely problem no where near 1000. Depending on the model number of your set you can get replacement color wheels at the following link.

RCA HD61LPW42 - no picture

I haven't worked on an RCA DLP but have on Samsung DLP, based on your description it sounds like the color wheel is bad. Take the back off and turn on TV make sure its not a fan making the noise ,but most likely its the "wheel" it is inside the light engine probably right next to where the lamp is plugged in. If the whine comes from this area definitely the wheel.

Powers on. green light flashes then turns back off.

For troubleshooting your lamp, use the following lamp troubleshooting wizard here:

http://www.fixyourdlp.com/wizard/launch-window.html

If it turns out you need a lamp, you can follow the simple instructions available here for just about any make and model, including your RCA. The RCA website is useless and they never have parts in stock.
